Thanks Alan,
What do you use to clamp off the line and where do you do the clamping? I must say the lines are not easily accessible at least at first and second and third glance. I have been thinking ,,, would it be sensible to install a way to turn it off with some sort of valve rather than having to compress the rubber hose.... thinking that is not what a hose likes ,,,especially if you are an old hose.
Ok well ,,,, if I find it straightforward to remove the IM and replace and after testing the GPs they are ok I might leave them in place,,,, but sort of fearful that will eventually lead to them being seized in there. I do have maintenance records of sorts from Japan ,,,,but ,,, hard to decipher,,,, I will give that a more serious try.
Finally found some good videos of GP removal that also gives me comfort on the IM removal ,,, just need to get organized now. My return line hose still not delivered today. It will be in a UPS vehicle appropriately powered by diesel I hope!!
